Cube pruning is a fast inexact method for generating the items of a beam decoder. In this paper, we show that cube pruning is essentially equivalent to A* search on a specific search space with specific heuristics. We use this insight to develop faster and exact variants of cube pruning.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
